What will a Reiki healing session do for me?
Reiki brings you back into balance - back into your original state of well-being and health.
It heals at the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Our natural state is whole, healthy, with life force energy running through us without blockages.
Reiki healing sessions help clear the blockages aka disease or “dis-ease”- symptoms in our physical bodies that something is off such as aches, pain, inflammation, etc. it also does the same for mental blocks/emotional imbalances, etc.
Results can be instant or over the course of days.
People typically leave feeling relaxed like you've had a massage (although you haven't - most sessions don't involve any touching. If it does, hands are lightly rested on the receiver).
Healing isn’t a straight line and one session isn’t a cure all.
But, if done consistently, along with other daily practices, it will change your life✨
